Buildings that belongwhere they stand.
An architecture and interior studio in Dorćol. We design houses, hotels and workplaces across Serbia and the region, and stay on site until the last door handle goes on.
Vidik means vantage point. Before we draw anything, we stand on the site until we find the spot the building wants to be seen from. Then we sketch it by hand, build it with people we trust, and stay until the last door handle goes on.

Five recent projects
One team, from the first sketch to the keys
Most projects need more than one of these. A renovation usually needs a permit, and a new house usually needs an interior.
Architecture
New houses, small hotels and mixed-use buildings up to about 5,000 m², including everything the building permit needs.
Interiors
Layouts, lighting, joinery drawings and a material schedule your contractor can price without guessing.
Renovation
Old apartments, industrial halls and listed houses. We survey what is there first, and usually keep more than you expect.
Site supervision
One of us is on site every week and signs off every change to the drawings, until handover and through the first year.
From the first coffee to the keys
Four stages, one team. You always know who is drawing your building and when the next decision is due.
01
First meeting
Usually on site. We look at the plot or the building, talk about budget and timing, and tell you honestly if we are the right studio.
02
Feasibility
We check zoning, utilities and what the plot actually allows, then sketch two or three options, each with a cost range.
03
Design and permits
Concept, main design and the full documentation for the building permit, submitted through the e-permit system.
04
Construction
Tender, choosing the contractor and weekly site visits until handover. We stay involved through the first year of defects.
Concrete, timber, lime and light
We use few materials and leave them honest. Board marks stay in the concrete, and the oak is allowed to age.
“They spent more time with the conservation office than we did. That is the reason we opened on time.”
Dragana Mihajlović, owner of Hotel Lipa
Have a plot, a building or just a floor plan? Send us what you have. A phone photo of a sketch is fine. We answer within two working days.
